Brian Rose is confident that he can handle the pressure

Brian Rose said that the fight against Carson Jones will prove to be his career’s most important one in his efforts to get back in top form after the world title loss that he suffered in 2014, and online bookmaking agents anticipate a very intense clash between these fighters.

In June, Rose got the opportunity to take on Demetrius Andrade – WBO champion – but in New York, his hopes to clinch a title were broken by a stoppage.

The light-middleweight from Blackpool still thinks that can take on the best in his division, but first he has to prove himself when he takes on Jones on the 14th of February.

This bout is getting underway in the fighter’s hometown at the Winter Gardens – in the Prizefighter bill.

“I think it’s the biggest fight of my career,” he said. “I think I’ve had tougher fights in the past, but I’ve got to look at this as the biggest fight of my career, because it’s the toughest test since the Andrade fight and I think people are looking at me to see how I’m going to react to that.

Basketball Betting: Batum to play with finger splint

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum will wear for the next six weeks a protective splint on his left middle finger – a measure that will let him play despite having an avulsion fracture to the finger, and many basketball betting fans hope that this doesn’t interfere with his performance.

Pay per head sportsbooks found out that Batum plans to play against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, which means that Portland will have the same starting lineup for the 35th game in a row.

Basketball betting fans and price per head services believe that even though Batum’s injury marks the first health scare to the Blazers’ starting lineup, the team could be boosted by rookie C.J. McCollum, who on Tuesday will be activated for the first time after not playing for the first two months of the season due to a foot injury.
